Observe how the diaphragm attaches to the body wall and separates the abdominal cavity from the lung (pleural) and heart (pericardial) cavities (Photographs below). Contraction of the diaphragm forces air into the lungs.

Learn at your own pace with bite-sized, verified content. diaphragm. Large, flat muscle at the bottom of the chest cavity that helps with breathing. spleen. Organ near the stomach that produces, stores, and eliminates blood cells. pancreas. Looks kind of bubbly. Regulates the level of sugar in the blood.

In this activity, you will open the abdominal and thoracic cavity of the fetal pig and identify structures. Remember, that to dissect means to "expose to view" - a careful dissection will make it easier for you to find the organs and structures.

Abdominal Cavity. 1. The largest organ in the abdominal cavity is by far the liver, just below the diaphragm (the flap of muscle separating the abdominal from the thoracic cavity). Notice the umbilical vein connecting the umbilical cord with the liver. Cut this vein so you can lay the umbilical cord back between the pig’s hind legs.

In this activity, you will open the abdominal and thoracic cavity of the fetal pig and identify structures. Remember, that to dissect means to "expose to view" - a careful dissection will make it easier for you to find the organs and structures.

FETAL PIG LAB ONE: Respiratory 1, Mouth, Pharynx & Thorax External Anatomy • Examine the fetal pig and locate the external features shown above. • Two rows of nipples of mammary glands are present on the ventral abdominal surface of both males and females. Mammary glands later develop only in maturing females.

Locate the epiglottis, a cone-shaped structure at the back of the mouth, a flap of skin helps to close this opening when a pig swallows. The pharynx is the cavity in the back of the mouth – it is the junction for food (esophagus) and air (trachea). 4. Gestation for the fetal pig is 112-115 days.
